20 week ultrasound

This is a 3-D shot of her little face :)

Cute little foot

Long legs!

We went in for our 20 week ultrasound today. Everything looked really good and the measurements were right on track. It's definitely still a girl but I'll keep her modest! Ian kept telling me we were going to go in and find out it is really a boy! We finally made a believer out of him and now he is ok with painting her room :) Can't wait to start that project. We are 95% sure we are going to name her Halle. That's the name that always comes to mind when I think about her. We get to go in again in about 8 weeks for a full 3-D ultrasound. I love seeing our little sweet pea moving around and growing, so fun!

Brock's 5th Birthday!!

Brock turned 5 this year!! He picked a pirate theme for his party and it was lots of fun! We had a little mix up with the bakery that made the cake (they didn't order the right topper for his cake) so it ended up different than we thought. Brock was happy with it so that's all that matters!

We got him the turtle pillow pet that he wanted. He was pretty excited!! He also got a new Jazz hat, a t-ball set, mit & ball, bubble set, a racetrack with cars, shirts, a skateboard, lots of treats and some rockets to shoot outside.

He loved every minute of it! He got to celebrate with grandparents and cousins which was great. I can't believe he is already 5. It seems like such a big milestone. We will be registering him for Kindergarten next week, it's crazy!! He is such a sweet, smart, handsome little boy and we couldn't be more proud of him. It's amazing how much our lives changed when his began. I am so grateful to be his mom and to be able to watch him grow up. We love you Brock!!!

Sugar and Spice...

We found out today that we are expecting a GIRL!!! She was being a little stubborn at first but we were finally able to get a good peek between the legs. It is always such a relief to see the baby moving around and looking healthy. I am so excited to have another girl in the house and a future shopping buddy! Ian is mostly excited but also a little scared (mostly for the teenage years). I think he is feeling relieved too. He was feeling the pressure since he wanted me to have a little princess :) Brock is so happy to have a little sister!! After having Sawyer he decided another brother would be too much. He thinks a little girl will be nicer, we'll see! Sawyer doesn't really care at this point but he is such a sweetie, I know he'll do great as a big brother. I can't wait to see how this baby is different from the boys. Bring on the pink!!

Our Little Peanut

We found out on Christmas that we are expecting baby #3! We are so excited to add to our family. I had an ultrasound earlier this week and everything looks great. Little Peanut is right on track! The official due date is 9-1-11 although my doctor says he would prefer to induce me a week early unless baby decides to come before then. He's afraid if I go into labor I might not make it to the hospital in time :) Brock can't wait and he is convinced he's getting a little sister this time. I'll be finding out as soon as possible and I'll keep everyone posted!!

Clark Planetarium

Brock has been really interested in space lately so we decided to take the boys to the Clark Planetarium. It was really cool and they loved it! There were lots of things to look at and some fun hands-on exhibits too. It was a really good Saturday with the family.

This is Brock with an astronaut from Utah. He thought that was pretty cool.

Moon-walkers! This shows what the surface of the moon is like.

Brock "floating" on the moon!

Cute little Martians! This is what the surface of Mars is like. Apparently even Martians like the Jazz :)

Brock wanted his picture by Jupiter. He says it's his favorite planet because it has 63 moons! His knowledge of space and planets is pretty amazing. He has been teaching me lots of new things!

Christmas 2010

Sawyer got a new ride for Christmas! He figured it out right away and loves it! He had a hard time getting all of his presents open because he was having too much fun to stop playing!

Brock loved opening all the presents! He was getting frustrated with Sawyer being so slow. At least that made it last longer!

Brock got the Lotso bear that he wanted from Toy Story 3, a Leapster with some games, a D Will jersey, Toy Story playset, Legos, Monster truck Mater, a game, color wonder and a movie. He also got some gift cards from grandparents so he could pick out whatever he wanted and some spelling blocks and coins.

Sawyer got a Buzz Lightyear 4 wheeler, Jazz jersey, Toy Story Duplos, some cars and tucks, an Aquadoodle, Moon dough, color wonder and a view master. He also got gift cards from grandparents so he could pick whatever he wanted and a wooden ball/hammer toy and some coins.

It was so fun to watch the boys open their presents! They are at the perfect ages for Christmas. They loved everything!! We had a great Christmas, hope you did too!

Sawyer is 2!!!

My sweet little Sawyer turned 2 on December 19th. I can't believe it!! He is such a fun little boy. It seems like he has grown up a lot in the last few months. He is learning so much! He loves being the center of attention and is developing quite a personality! It seems like he is constantly making us laugh. I am proud to say that he inherited my sarcasm gene :) Ian isn't so sure that's a good thing! We just love having him as part of our family.

This is him modeling the hat that Uncle Shane got him! He had such a great time opening presents and loved everything he got!

Since Dustin, Shane and Sawyer all have birthdays so close together we did a combined party this year. I made all the boys a balloon cake. Sawyer LOVES balloons so that was the theme.

He actually did pretty well with the cake and didn't make a huge mess.
Happy Birthday Sawyer, we love you so much!!
